Erik McCoy Scouting Report

STRENGTHS: You have to love the high level
of experience, playing in the SEC, that Erik McCoy has on his
resume—predominantly at the Center position…a solid prospect who plays with
excellent technique and fundamental footwork…his best film is in pass
blocking…very rarely is beaten off the line of scrimmage…quick off the
snap…gets his hands on the opposition before they can reach him…solid frame…plays
with good leverage at the line of scrimmage…a very consistent prospect who
brings it every single snap…

WEAKNESSES: One ominous detail that lingers
is that Erik McCoy tends to struggle against bigger, stronger athletes—which he
will face every week once he arrives in the NFL…not the road grader type of run
blocker…when McCoy advances to the 2nd level—he has a tendency to
lose his leverage and play too high—which allows for would be defenders to
absorb the contact and get off the block…lack of ideal length and athleticism
will be concerning to the scouting community…

COMP: Ryan Kalil

OVERALL: Erik McCoy is just now garnering the
attention that he deserves and on some level, he still is not receiving the pub
that matches his film…fundamentally sound, Erik McCoy is an experienced Center
prospect and is plug and play ready…I don’t think that a 1st round
selection is out of the question…ultimately I see him being an early-mid 2nd
round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
